From what I am hearing and on the basis of some of the earlier comments, I was also thinking about an issue in the context of something I watched on television earlier this week regarding an organisation that has lost a significant amount of management expertise in recent years. I refer to the issue of autonomy and respect. That is something that is coming through. In any of these situations, and we have seen it in many areas, we train people to a standard, we have confidence in their skills and ability and we allow them to do their jobs.

A couple of things follow on from that. Is the ICGVRA satisfied with the code of conduct? Is it just a case of the interpretation and application of it? Is it too rigorous or are there fundamental issues with the code of conduct?

On the culture of fear within the organisation, is it a matter of addressing those protocols and codes of practice or are they okay? What do the representatives see as the method to address those? Is it new forums and structures or is it new forums and structures and codes of conduct?
